The Hopeless Romantic

Chapter: 7

Let's change it up a bit... 

*Matt's P.O.V.* At Sam's Place...

"Matt," Sam sat with her legs crossed. She grabbed a lighter and a pack of cigarettes. "How much longer are we going to keep this up?" She lit a cigarette then blew smoke.

"Until Kylee comes running back, Sam. We've talked about this." 

"But you're miserable. Plus May regrets doing what she did for you."

May is Sam's girlfriend. She's a freshmen on college that graduated from our school last year. She helped me make Kylee think that I was cheating on her, so she'd break up with me.

I ran my fingers through my hair. My heart sank. I knew that I was losing Kylee to Benjamin, but I'd never admit it aloud. I sighed in frustration and laid down on Sam's bed.

"Matt, she's gonna have to find out if you really want her back."

I facepalmed. "I know Sam. At this point I just wish that I had never agreed to that deal with Benjamin."

Ohhh? Another Flashback? *Matt's P.O.V. Still*

I chewed some bubble gum outside of the school as I waited for Kylee. I checked my phone again anxiously. 

"Where is she...?"

"Hey Matt!" 

I looked over to see Benjamin from my Physics class smiling as he walked towards me. He was known as a starting fuckboi by a small few in our senior class. Guess he just knows how to keep people quiet.

But what dos he want from me?

I checked my phone again. Kylee had sent a text. 

2:40 P.M: Kylee: Sorry, I'll be a little late. Have to go to the college information center.

I smiled then replied with, "Ok, I'll be waiting so don't take too long." Send.

"Texting your girlfriend?"

I looked over to see Benjamin grinning. I put my phone in my pocket.

"What do you want, Benjamin?" I glared at him.

He smirked then ran his fingers through his hair. "Your girlfriend actually. Her and I are in the same English class together, and I've taken quite a liking to her."

"Well, sorry to disappoint, but as you said she's MY girlfriend. So get lost."

"Come on dude. Just hear me out. I wanna make a deal."

"For what? Kylee's mine." I started to get irritated.

Benjamin put his hands up in defense. "But wouldn't you like to see just how loyal she is to you? If you two ever separated would she come back to you? See if she could date someone else, but still be in love with you?"

"Why would I put her through something like that?"

Benjamin placed his arm around me on my shoulder. "Look dude. I just want to dick her down. I didn't want to phrase it that way, but you're starting to tick me off." 

He talked in a quiet, but stern voice. "Now look. You let me have her to do that, and I'll leave you both alone. If you refuse then I'll just get what I want by force."

I shoved him. "I'd never let you touch her."

"What if she changes? I get to her before you can save her, and she leave you for me?"

"That'd never happen."

"If you just give her up for a little while."

"No." 

"Ugh. Fine. How about this? We see who can sack her first."

"Psh, we're dating, so me duh."

"No, no, no. You've gotta ditch her first."

"And give up my fantastic sex life? Ha!"

"What if she let's us both fuck her?"

"Why would I share?"

Benjamin exhaled in frustration. "It's more fun that way. Plus maybe it'll open her up."

"I don't know."

Benjamin placed his hand on my shoulder. "Dude. You'll get her back after I'm done."

I took Benjamin's hand off of my shoulder. "Fine, but if you hurt her in any way...  We're fighting. No matter what Kylee is mine in the end. The end being 2 months. You cannot take her ."

Benjamin nodded. "Yeah, sure dude. You just get single." He gave me a peace sign as he walked away.

I facepalmed. "What have I done?"

"Matt!"

I looked to see Kylee rushing over to me. She stopped in front of me and caught her breath.

"I-I'm... S-Sorry... Late."

I smiled at her, and she looked up at me. "It's alright, Kylee."

She blushed deeply then frantically looked around.

I watched her, confused. "What are you doing?"

"Looking for my boyfriend because he only calls me 'baby' or 'babe' all the time:"

I chuckled shaking my head. I grabbed her hand. "Let's go, Babe."

Kylee smiled brightly, and my heart started to hurt.

Why did I agree to that deal... I'm gonna miss this girl so much..."

*Flashback end!*

"I'm an idiot."

"You said it. Not me." Sam was folding clothes now. 

"Fine.: I exhaled then sat up and grabbed my phone. "I'll text her that I need to talk to her."

"Just don't be too rough on her. Remember that Kylee's not as strong-willed as she used to be while you were dating. She's fragile."

"I know, Sam. I just want everything to go back to the way it was."

Sam raised an eyebrow at me. "You only miss the sex."

I blushed slightly. "Well yeah, but you know that I really care about her."

Sam smiled at me. "That's my Matt. Look just text her. I'll be back."

I gave her a peace sign as she walked out. Then I looked down at my phone. My heart pounded loudly.

Why am I so nervous all of a sudden?

I exhaled. "What if she doesn't believe me? What if she's already been broke by Benjamin?" I softly slapped my face to knock some sense into myself.

"Kylee's not like that. She'll understand. She'll listen to me. She'll be reasonable."

I unlocked my phone and opened my messages. I found Kylee then texted her.

"Hey. You up?"
